Pleasant Words from the Gospel

... May our... God... Who loved us and by His grace gave us eter-
nal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and
strengthen you in every good deed and word. (2 Thessalonians,

2:16-17)

Those who have served well [lived for the approval of God] gain an
excellent standing and great assurance in their faith... (1 Timothy,
3:13)

But he replied [to Jesus], "... I am ready to go with you to prison
and to death [for the approval of God]." (Luke, 22:33)

Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been
encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and
fearlessly... I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be

ashamed, but will have sufficient courage... whether by life or by
death. (Philippians, 1:14, 20)
